What Is a Root Canal?
A root canal is a dental procedure in which Dr. Malki removes infected pulp from the pulp chamber inside of a tooth. Root canal treatment is sometimes referred to as endodontic therapy.
When cavities or cracks in your tooth allow bacteria to enter the pulp chamber, the pulp itself becomes infected. Infected pulp can result in an abscessed tooth and other health issues.

View On GoogleWhen Is Root Canal Therapy Necessary?
Root canal therapy is recommended once bacterium reaches the pulp chamber of a fractured or decayed tooth. At this point, people may begin to experience significant pain and other symptoms noted above.
Endodontic therapy can alleviate your symptoms and save your tooth from extraction.
Does Root Canal Treatment Hurt?
No, a root canal will not hurt. Because we use advanced technologies and techniques at our Bergen County, NJ, practice, our dentist can ensure a virtually painless procedure.
Our team is equipped to provide you with the appropriate levels of anesthesia and pain medicine to ensure you are entirely comfortable both during and after your root canal.
A Look at the Endodontic Procedure
A root canal removes the diseased pulp, fully eradicating decay and infection in the process. This procedure preserves your tooth, eliminating the need for a tooth extraction.
Don’t I Need to See an Endodontist?
No. You don’t have to visit an endodontist to get the treatment you need. A skilled dentist with proper training can effectively remove diseased dental pulp from a tooth and clear any remaining bacterium from the pulp chamber.
Dr. Malki has the resources and expertise to perform root canal therapy for patients throughout Bergen County, NJ.
Unlike an endodontist, Dr. Malki offers comprehensive solutions you may need to restore your oral health and beautify your smile. In this sense, Malki Dental acts as a one-stop shop for all of your dental needs.
What to Expect From a Root Canal A Step-By-Step Breakdown
Streamlined Treatment With CEREC Technology at Our New Jersey Practice
Previously, root canals were performed over the course of two separate appointments. Now, our dentist can complete all the necessary steps in our office in a single day thanks to CEREC technology.
CEREC is an in-office unit that designs and mills custom dental restorations out of top-of-the-line ceramic. The whole process takes approximately one hour. CEREC saves our patients time and money and also avoids the hassle of wearing temporary crowns.
Paying for Root Canal Treatment
Insurance will typically cover root canal treatment, at least in part. We at Malki Dental accept most insurance plans.
For those without insurance or patients who need assistance paying for a root canal, our practice in New Jersey accepts flexible financing through CareCredit® to help keep out-of-pocket expenses more manageable.
